Tumeng: I am a national advisor in the Golden Family

Chapter 287: The battle to prevent the massacre of the city and the first contribution to the destru

Subotai also told Ogedai the detailed battle report.

"Thank you, Khan!" Zhang Yong said immediately.

The key is that Subotai is so powerful that only a dozen people were left in the force of five thousand troops.

Otherwise, the few hundred people he had arranged in advance would at most slow down their marching speed, and they might even be wiped out by the Jin Kingdom.

When I gave them an order, if they encountered a Jin army of more than a thousand people, they should retreat directly and do not engage in direct combat. If they encountered an army of less than a hundred people, go down and stop them.

Among all the generals of Genghis Khan, Subotai's level was only lower than that of Muhuali. However, because his eldest son went on the Western Expedition, in terms of military performance, he was much more powerful than Muhuali.

"All of you have made great contributions in Mongolia's war to destroy gold. I will discuss your merits and reward them in a few days." Wo Kuotai said.

The position of the first contributor to the destruction of the Jin Kingdom still needs to be discussed. He plans to discuss this matter with Zhang Yong in private first!

"That's right! Bring Wanyan Chenglin over and let me take a look." Wo Kuotai said.

Now that he, the last emperor of the Jin Kingdom, has been captured, Wokuotai himself naturally wants to meet him.

Subotai nodded and waved his hand, and soon several Mongolian soldiers came to the crowd carrying a strong man tied with five-flowered buns and a piece of cotton and linen stuffed in his mouth.

"This is the emperor of the Jin Kingdom. He is really in a sorry state!" Wo Kuotai circled around Wanyan Chenglin, shook his head, and said.

Once upon a time, they were the great Khans of Mongolia for generations! They could only go to the Jin capital to pay homage to the Jin emperor and dance in front of them to please the Jin emperor.

"Woo! Woo! Woo!" Even though his mouth was stuffed with a rag. But Wanyan Chenglin still looked at Wo Kuotai, Subotai Zhang Yong and others with an angry look, as if he wanted to remember the three of them. Remember that it was these three people who destroyed his country.

"You seem to be very unconvinced! Come here! Pull the cloth off his mouth." Seeing the fierce look on the other person's face, staring at him, Wo Guotai's temper immediately rose and he said.

What are you? Anyone who dares to glare at me, the Mongol Khan, is just a defeated general!

"Khan! You can't take this thing from your mouth. If you take it, you will bite your tongue and kill yourself immediately. We have to give it to Genghis Khan!" Subotai said quickly.

There is no way, this kid is already determined to die. As long as you take out the white cloth from his mouth, he will bite his tongue immediately, even when eating.

They also found several soldiers to control him, then forcefully opened his mouth and fed him some gruel, just to keep him from starving to death.

If you want to talk to him, haha, just follow his wishes. This kid can bite his tongue and commit suicide immediately. He definitely doesn't want to go to Mongolia and suffer.

"Really? In that case, forget it. Keep a close eye on him. Every time you feed him, be sure to select a few strong soldiers to open his mouth. Remember! Remember! Don't let him bite his tongue to commit suicide. Alright." Wo Kuotai said.

If this guy dies, it won't be good. The emperor of the Jin Kingdom has to deal with two people, one with his head and the other alive.

He waved his hand to Wokuotai and asked the Mongolian soldiers to take Wanyan Chenglin down.

"Okay, you two should go down and rest first! I'll summon the generals in a few days after I finish the business in Kaifeng Mansion." Wo Kuotai waved his hand and said.

Three days later, all the resistance forces in Kaifeng Mansion were completely eliminated, and the residents of Kaifeng Mansion were also arranged to enter the city and return to their homes.

Continue to live in Kaifeng Prefecture, farm where the land should be, and do business where the business should be done.

Some Han civilian officials who were willing to surrender to Mongolia continued to govern here, and Mongolia also parachuted some high-level military officers to garrison here.

As for the original Jurchens in the Jin Kingdom, they all became prisoners of the Mongols.

In the early morning of the next day, Wokuotai summoned all the Mongolian generals in the original palace of the Jin people.

"Hahaha! Look at the palace of the Emperor of the Central Plains. It is indeed magnificent! It is not inferior to Dadu at all." Wo Kuotai said.

"Yes! Great Khan! The Jin Kingdom has been in control of the Central Plains for a hundred years. It has long lost the wildness of the grassland people and has completely turned into a Central Plains dynasty." A Mongolian general said.

"Great Khan! Now we have won the battle and successfully captured this city. According to our Mongolian rules, Kaifeng Prefecture is a city that resists. We should massacre this city and then plunder all the wealth!" A Mongolian The general spoke.

According to the Mongolian rules, this Kaifeng Mansion is of the type that resists tenaciously, so the city must be massacred.

However, some of Ogedei's previous actions were obviously not to massacre the city, so some Mongolian generals were unwilling.

They fought hard for more than a year and finally captured a big city. Now it was time to carry out some looting.

"Great Khan! The people here will continue to pay taxes for you in the future, so don't kill them!" A Han army prince stood up and said.

The Mongols really like to massacre a city, because after massacring a city, the army can plunder a large amount of property, and every Mongolian soldier will be extremely rich.

But this is very unfriendly to the local Han people!

"Great Khan! As long as the people here are alive and brought under your rule, they will be able to create a steady stream of wealth in a few years. You cannot kill them." Yelu Chucai said.

"No! Our Mongolian rules cannot be broken. This city is a city that resists resolutely and must retaliate." A Mongolian officer said.

The people present were divided into two extremes, and many Mongolian generals agreed to massacre the city.

A devastating plunder was carried out against Kaifeng Mansion, but all the Han princes and some civil officials headed by Yelu Chucai did not agree to massacre the city.

Wo Kuotai looked at everyone's performance and did not speak. Instead, he sat on the dragon chair that was the emperor of the Jin Kingdom and watched everyone quarreling.

"Great Khan! Please tell me, after becoming the Great Khan, won't you follow our Mongolian rules?" A Mongolian general looked at Ogedai and said.

"Tourei, my good brother Chagatai, what do you think we should do?" Wokuotai looked at his two brothers and asked.

"Brother Ogedai! You are the Great Khan of Mongolia! Of course I will obey your orders." Chagatai smiled and said.

After hearing Chagatai's words, Ogedai nodded with great satisfaction and looked at Tuo Lei beside him.

"Great Khan! It can be said that I destroyed all the defenders of Kaifeng Mansion, and I also led them into the city.

I propose to follow our Mongolian tradition to massacre the city, so that the soldiers have some money and slaves. Tuo Lei said.

After hearing this, a large group of Mongolian generals immediately clapped their hands and applauded. This was what they wanted to hear.

The faces of the Han nobles on the side changed drastically. If they were to massacre the city, there would be hundreds of thousands of people!

Including the people around Kaifeng Mansion, there are as many as one million!

Everyone turned their attention to Zhang Yong, who stood aside completely silent. His meaning was obvious.

You, the King of Guanzhong, can tell you that you are also a Han, and you hold a high position in Mongolia.

Now, it's time for you to stand up and say something.

And Zhang Yong did not disappoint the Han nobles present. He stood up generously, bowed to Wokuotai, and spoke. :

"Great Khan! Do you still remember the agreement I made with you before?

When we attacked Guanzhong, you promised me.

There are twenty cities in the Central Plains. Even if you break the Mongolian rules, you can ask not to kill them. "Zhang Yong said.

"Yes, that's it. I did promise you. You have used eighteen opportunities now. Do you want to use the two more opportunities in Kaifeng Mansion?" Wo Kuotai smiled and asked.

The time for this kid to step forward was just right. What he wanted was for someone to take the lead and express his opinions to prevent him from slaughtering the city.

The people in the Central Plains are not like those in the Western Regions and Western countries. Killing them will not rob them of too much property.

Instead, let them survive to continue plowing, farming, doing business, producing, and paying taxes, so that they can truly create wealth.

After some suggestions from Zhang Yong, Wo Kuotai has deeply realized this, so he will not commit murder if he can avoid killing in the Central Plains area.

A group of Han princes present heard this and breathed a sigh of relief. No wonder the King of Guanzhong didn't panic at all. It turned out that he was confident!

There was such an agreement with the Mongolian Khan. No wonder so many stubbornly resisting cities were not massacred when the northern part of the Jin Kingdom was cleared. "Great Khan! I hope to use this opportunity to avoid the massacre in Kaifeng Mansion and allow all the people in Kaifeng Mansion to survive." Zhang Yong said.

This is a good opportunity. The agreement between himself and Ogedai is now known to everyone.

And this matter will definitely spread to the people, and then his reputation in the Central Plains region will usher in a surge.

The people in the Central Plains will be grateful to themselves. This is what Zhang Yong wants.

"Well! All of you have heard that this guy Zhang Yong and I made an agreement before.

So if he opens his mouth, I can't refuse, let's spare all the people in Kaifeng Mansion! "Wo Kuotai nodded to Zhang Yong and said.

The massacre of Kaifeng Mansion did not happen due to Zhang Yong's prevention, and all the people survived.

Although many Mongolian generals present were not very satisfied, they had nothing to say.

After all, the Mongols attach great importance to contracts. This is something the Khan promised, and they have no ability to change it.

"Okay! Thank you all for your hard work this time, don't worry, I will give you enough rewards.

Let’s all talk about this attack on the Kingdom of Jin. Who made the greatest contribution? "Wo Kuotai looked at all the generals present and asked.

"Bhan! Do you still need to ask? Of course it's Master Tuo Lei!"

Master Tuo Lei led an army of 30,000 people to defeat the 100,000-strong army of the Jin Kingdom, completely wiping out all the main forces of the Jin Kingdom.

Only then can we surround Kaifeng Mansion and completely destroy the Jin Kingdom. "One of the host kings said.

"I think it was Zhang Yong, the king of Guanzhong. If it hadn't been for the king of Guanzhong, we wouldn't have captured Tongguan so easily.

Afterwards, the King of Guanzhong attacked the hinterland of the Southern Song Dynasty, captured the entire Sichuan and Shu lands, contained the Song Dynasty's army, and then immediately went north.

He helped the Great Khan command the battle of the Jin Kingdom, pacified the southern region of the Jin Kingdom, and personally launched the strategy to attack Kaifeng Mansion. "A Han nobleman said.

"Yes! And the last emperor of the Jin Kingdom was also captured by the subordinates of King Guanzhong.

More importantly, for our attack on the Jin Kingdom this time, almost all the food and grass were provided by the King of Guanzhong. "A Mongolian Western King said.

"The King of Guanzhong deserves the greatest credit."

"You fart, it's obviously Master Tuo Lei who deserves the most credit."

"Lord Tuo Lei annihilated the Jin Kingdom's 100,000-strong army, but the King of Guanzhong did not annihilate that many troops.

He just came up with ideas and provided food and fodder. How could he compete with Master Tuo Lei for military merit? "

"How important is food and grass? Don't you know? How can providing food and grass be a trivial matter?"

Many generals present began to quarrel, and some of the host kings and their Mongolian generals sided with Tuo Lei.

The kings of the Western Dao, as well as the Han nobles, stood on Zhang Yong's side.

In terms of numbers, Zhang Yong has an absolute advantage. After all, the kings of the West Road and him have almost worn a pair of trousers in the past few years. Can you not speak for yourself?

And when they said this, there must be Wokuotai behind them, because after all, he was the Great Khan of Mongolia!

How could it be possible for dragging thunder to be the first to eliminate gold this time? Pushing Zhang Yong out to compete with Tuo Lei was a strategy Wo Kuotai had long thought of.

Wo Kuotai had already greeted Zhang Yong in advance before this happened.

You kid is going to risk your life to compete with Tuo Lei for me today, it's that simple.

That being the case, what else can I say? Drag mine!

"Hahaha! Tell me, what would happen if you were fighting outside without food support or food? I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to hold on for even one day, right?" Chagatai said.

What he and Tai meant was simple. Zhang Yong provided the most important resource for this battle, which was food.

Without food, what will you use to fight?

I'm afraid that last year, we collectively returned to the Mongolian grasslands.

"We Mongolians are not as dependent on logistical supplies as the Han army. If we don't have food, we can rob the local people. If the local people don't have it, we can drink mare's milk. After the mare's milk is finished, we can also drink horse's blood." A Mongolian general He spoke.

"So, the local people have finished robbing, drinking all the horse milk, and drinking all the horse blood. What will you eat?" Chagatai said.

If you only eat these things, you won't last long.

"Yes! Without the support of this food and grass, it would be impossible for us to win this war."

"The greatest credit for this war to destroy gold should belong to the King of Guanzhong." The Han Shihou said.

Tuo Lei's face in the audience was a little gloomy. He really didn't expect Wo Kuotai to play this trick and bring out a Han man to compete with him for credit.

I just provided some food and fodder and followed you to help you fight the war and gave you some ideas. Why should you get more credit than me?

"The contribution of the King of Guanzhong is indeed great. We have nothing to say if he is ranked second, but it is no good if he is ranked first. He did not lead the army alone in the battle." A Mongolian general said.

"Who told you that Zhang Yong didn't lead the army alone to fight? Did you conquer the Sichuan-Sichuan land? Were you the ones who defeated the hundreds of thousands of Southern Song coalition forces together with General Subotai?" Wo Kuotai He spoke.

Tuo Lei's contribution was indeed great. He annihilated the Jin Kingdom's 100,000 troops. Against the Jin Kingdom, Zhang Yong's military exploits were indeed not as good as Tuo Lei's.

But his main battlefield was in the land of Sichuan and Shu, in the land of Guanzhong, and in those battles with the Southern Song Dynasty army.

"Yes! If it weren't for the King of Guanzhong, he would have defeated hundreds of thousands of troops from the Southern Song Dynasty.

If the armies of the Southern Song Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom successfully encircle us, the outcome of this war is still uncertain! "

"Also, isn't it the King of Guanzhong's contribution to conquering the entire Sichuan and Shu lands and solving the food problem for the army?"

"And Tongguan! If it weren't for the weapons and explosive packs presented by the King of Guanzhong, how could we have conquered Tongguan within half a month?"

"Everyone is right! Without King Guanzhong, it would be impossible for us to win this battle.

But even if Tu Lei does not win this war, when we return with more than 200,000 troops, we can still annihilate these 100,000 Jin troops. "Wokuotai said.

Tuo Lei, the first contributor to this war to destroy money, don’t even think about it, just be the second one to me.

"Okay! If that's the case, then I'll give you the top job in destroying gold, Zhang Yong!" Tuo Lei snorted coldly and said.

He could tell that Wokuotai wanted to weaken his influence in Mongolia!

Even if he has made such a big contribution.

Wokuotai wanted to suppress him desperately. His wife was right, he must have strong power in his hands. When he asked for a fiefdom later, he would find a way to get the land of Hebei or the Central Plains.

"Well! Zhang Yong, who do you think has the second greatest contribution to this war?" Wo Kuotai asked.

"Great Khan! I thought it should be Lord Chagatai, General Subotai, Lord Tolei, and the men tied for second place." Zhang Yong said.

He naturally knew what Wo Kuotai meant by asking, which was to divide Tuo Lei's influence. Don't even think about having this second place to yourself. Share it with Chagatai and Subotai!

"Oh! Tell me what you think?" Wo Kuotai's eyes lit up and he asked.

"Great Khan! Lord Chagatai personally wiped out the eastern forces of the Jin Kingdom. The Red Coat Army in Shandong had hundreds of thousands of troops, and it was Lord Chagatai who stabilized them with his words.

We were able to destroy the Jin without any worries, and in the end, we surrendered them and made them agree to surrender to us Mongolia. Isn't this credit great enough? "Zhang Yong said. (End of Chapter)
